The Global Savory Snacks Market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.53% over the next five years.

The demand for organic snacking options is increasing due to the gaining health consciousness among consumers and the developing health issues resulting from hectic lifestyles. This changing trend has led savory snack manufacturers to develop snacking products containing fiber, energy, and proteins. Also, there is increasing consumer demand for nutritious products with limited ingredients or claims, like clean labels. Consumers are increasingly paying attention to the composition of food products and how this information is communicated on the packaging. Clean label responds to the growing consumer demand for information and transparency. This has fueled the market growth for healthy savory snacks, including roasted and lightly spiced nuts and seeds.

Moreover, the on-the-go snacking concept is linked to easy consumption and is relatively easier to handle, which savory snacks, like popcorn and potato chips, offer. Also, popcorn, nuts and seeds, and extruded snacks can help prevent people from getting too hungry for junk foods, as these serve as ideal eatables in between breaks or whenever people do not have time to cook.

North America Holds the Major Share

The Frito-Lay Corporation is a dominant player in the savory snack market in the region. Chips/crisps and tortilla/corn chips are American consumers' two most popular snack selections, with chips/crisps capturing the highest value in sales. Different preparation techniques are expanding the flavor map especially roasted coconut kale chips, oven-roasted sweet potato chips, and a wide variety of roasted nuts, which are increasing the demand for savory snacks in the American market.​
